Why would you have to stop at all? Maybe if there were another trail of magic, you'd have to study the divergence, but otherwise, you can just detect the presence of magic. Hence, 1. concentrate and move 2. concentrate and move 3. concentrate and move et cetera

Wowza, never really looked at the obsidian steed. But again, it's not unlimited. You are limited to 14,400 uses of plane shift per week. Likely you would also need an airline barf bag. Is the Steed keyed to any particular plane, or can it go anywhere? My BBEG would like it to stay out of...

um. Lots of magic items (and magical locations) are designed this way. Just off the top of my head, from the WotC 3.0 Adventure Path: azan-gund (Sunless Citadel), the temporal-stasis altar (Heart of Nightfang Spire), the three thuribles (Deep Horizon). From the SRD: the rings of elemental...

uhh...what?

thanks! I should have remembered the fire ring, as the fighter in my campaign is now wearing one. So far our unlimited-use instantaneous-effect items are either cursed or 200,000gp. hmm. When I get a chance I'll try to price out the elemental rings to see how much of their price is fudge-factor.

The delay is probably a license thing. My FNGS got it last Thursday but was forbidden from stocking it until yesterday. I got it yesterday, spent about ten minutes glancing through it. It's at home, or I'd give you a better review. What I like most is the format: a players' booklet, a...

wow. I had earlier predicted that Moradin would be the sole survivor. Not because I like him, or anything, but because he would ride the wave of resentment toward other deities. It looks like he's going to go.

The remaining issue is whether the same ring can be used as a focus for multiple spells. I allow it, but I imagine there may be people who would not. Their clerics run around all bling-ed out with platinum.

Should I be worried that my DM is pointing me toward the Scarab of Death? Discuss.

Well, yeah! That ring would be a steal at only a quarter million gps! And since it's merely an orison, I would be the benevolent DM and just call it an unlimited-use item. :lol: Can you please point me to another item that allows unlimited usage of a spell with instantaneous duration?

Considering how much I fudge the rules and rolls in combat, the strictness of the system is a welcome relief.

err, thanks, but it's just math. There is no other way to reflect instantaneous items in the Guidelines. Charges per day is how I do almost all of my homebrew items, even those pesky Boots of Expeditious Retreat. I wasn't being snarky. This, I consider snarky: but again, it's just math.

You're on the right path, but you have forgotten to add in the charges-per-day calculation. Let's try this again: (spell level) * (caster level) * 1,800gp, divided by (5 divided by charges per day) So 2*3*1800/(5/14400) = 31,104,000gp. You are aware that there are 14,400 standard actions in a...

Back in the early 90s I was keen in the BBSing scene. I even ran one for a few years. Message boards were where my like-minded idiot friends wasted all our time together, when we couldn't actually get together. With the rise of the hated Internet, I lamented the loss of that unique style of...

That sounds great. I would love to see details (though after the fact, I suppose, so as not to spoil).

I like these ideas. The quantum-leap effect is an interesting one, and would allow the DM a little more power to tweak the minds and/or equipment of the PCs. "I...don't...remember that spell anymore, but where in hell did I get this robe?"

Excellent, thank you. I am a greater fan of sci-fi, so I'll try the Demon Princes stuff as well.

I'd be curious to know what Dr. Midnight ultimately chose. I will point out that Monte Cook wrote the Harrowing as a sequel of sorts from RttToEE. At least, I think he ran them with his group back-to-back.

1) Take one D&D group, add alcohol. 2) Stir with one over-the-top DM who roleplays a ridiculous amount. 3) Enjoy!

Are you joking? If Boccob is ejected then why in Acheron is Wee Jas still stinking up the place? She's not even a proper deity of magic, or death, or anything worthy. Vanity, OK, fine, she's hot. But she only became a goddess of death because so many of her followers died from magic! duh...
